Thanks to KH13 staff member Mio-chan and LadyAleister, we have translations on some of the information given by Nomura, Hashimoto, and more at the event, and also some impressions of the Twitter users.

- Sora's birthday isn't specified, but it should be the day of his debut (March 28, 2002), just as other Disney characters.- There is desire of making supporting characters and Organization XIII mini figures, so Nomura will think about it.- Sea Salt Ice Creams at the event had winner sticks among them at the event which attendees were able to be exchange for a free coaster.- They worked hard to host the Café, and maybe there are no more chances to do so, so Nomura asked everyone to enjoy that month.- There is no schedule for a release of Nomura’s art collection at the moment.- There is also no plans for selling a Promotional Video collection for now.- The staff said that the release of the Kingdom Key prop replica should be asked to Bandai, as they are the ones who Disney handed the rights to.

Impressions

"Firstly, when Mr. Hashimoto went to sign my copy, he said, "Please get a signature from the creators first. I'll write in the remaining gap after that." when I was thanking the developers. He's so nice." (@yossthan)

UPDATE:

-A Message from the Director-

Long time no see, this is Nomura.Somehow we are able to celebrate the 2nd Anniversary, and it’s thanks to the fans.The staff appreciate it too, thank you.This time I tried very hard to write and draw various things.I will explain: I did the KH2’s last battle illustration, the KH2 avatar parts and others so I kind of multiplying the number "2" for the 2nd Anniversary Event.The main story ended with a long KH-ish prologue, so the main part of Union Cross begins at last.This is what the title displayed on the latest scenario part meant.It was the beginning of an impact, I believe that Union Cross will be deeper than χ[chi] and Unchained χ.

I think that each new part added will make you even more involved into the story, so please look forward to it.By the middle of September, there is a little part of the main scenario in preparation along with a large-scale update, so please look forward to it too.Until then, may your heart be your guiding key.

As of August 24th at 15:00 JST, five new Main Story Quests have been added to the Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts Union χ, involving Strelitzia and introducing with a twist a face that fans of the Kingdom Hearts series may already be familiar with.

Untranslated footage can be viewed below, courtesy of Everglow.

Update: Translated footage is now available and can be viewed below, courtesy of Everglow.

As of August 10th at 15:00 JST, ten new story quests have been added to the Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts Union χ[cross]. These quests focus on a trip to the beach with the player and their friends and include the reveal of the anticipated fifth Union Leader--a girl, Strelitzia, whose fate has begun to move.

A Kingdom Hearts III feature will be included in the upcoming Weekly Famitsu issue, and earlier today, Esoteru posted a summary of its highlights online. Since then, more leaks have released from Hachima. Some parts of this have already been covered in the aforementioned highlights summary, but now, we have the information in more detail and new information as well.

Tetsuya Nomura would like for you to wait for the next report, which will be some time in 2018.

There was some last-minute post-editing on the D23 and the Orchestral Concert PVs; Nomura wanted to tie things back to something with the word "dive," thinking back to the original concept of KH.

There were some strong feelings about the Toy Story world, because Nomura wanted to include it in KH2. Nomura's been negotiating for it since the first KH game. He met with John Lasseter when he came to Japan and told him about every element he wanted to include.

The Toy Story world does not take place during the original story, but picks up somewhere after Toy Story 2 and is consistent with the timeline of the movies.

This isn’t in the PV, but there is a scene where Sora is mistaken for an action figure of a game character by Rex.

Sora and company’s Toy Story world looks were designed by art directors who interacted to combine designs; the first team’s design was similar to action figures while the other group tried to match the aesthetic of Toy Story. The two had to come together and discuss and convince one another to arrive at the final design.

The staff was surprised at how easy it was to reproduce the graphic appearance of the original films. The looks of other worlds and gimmicks and such have been difficult for this game.

The Toy Story world’s percentage [of completeness] and quality was high enough to be seen earlier, but based on our PR plans it wasn’t shown until now. When they announced the Big Hero 6 world, Nomura could only show one illustration because it was a somewhat sudden request, so this time Nomura wanted to show video.

Production on the Big Hero 6 world is going well, though the matter of the last selected world is still ahead of them.

Multiple battle commands are displayed in the PV because there is always a choice in what to do in battle, there’s some tactical fun in assembling combos of your choosing. It might seem tough, but I want to reassure you that you can pull off some fancy techniques with the right button combinations.

Check out the second half, translated by News Team member Dengojin, below:

Each world will have it's own guest party members and they will have their unique collaboration commands, since it is a new system it will be introduced in details later.

Riding a robot to fight was an early idea sent at the beginning of the development to the dev team, each floor of the toy shop will have it's own gimmick.

The toy shop will be the main area in the Toy Story world you can enjoy other gimmicks with various toys sold there.

There is surprise in the future.*

The world where Young Eraqus and Xehanort is an original world. Also he mentions that KH3 will have less Disney worlds than KH2 in numbers, but they will be richer and more playable.

There are so many characters, so the story is dark and he is not planning it to end it all at once.

Each character story must be settled. This will involve members from the former Organization XIII.

Nomura is not directing anything else beside the announced titles, but he is involved with many.

Kingdom Hearts Union χ[cross] fifth Union leader chapter has been written and it will be released early August.

Nomura would like to give us more information about Kingdom Hearts III battle later.

*Pretty vague, maybe referring to the Toy Story world to be full of surprises?

Toy Story is the latest world revealed for Kingdom Hearts III through the trailer unveiled last week at the D23 Expo in Anaheim. The Weekly Famitsu feature, which will recap the event and include an interview with Tetsuya Nomura, will be published on July 20 in Japan. Stay tuned with us for updates and translations!

UPDATE 1: The Weekly Famitsu issue has been released! Check out full scans of it, as well as full translations, here.

Fifteen new story quests were added to the Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts Union χ[cross] following maintenance on July 8th (JST). These quests further progress the story taking place in Enchanted Dominion. Can the player protect Aurora from the evil clutches of Maleficent? Both untranslated and translated footage have been made available and can be viewed below, courtesy of Everglow.
